Ingredients:
• 4 pieces of cod (each about 6 ounces)
• 1/4 cup of fresh lemon juice
• 1/4 cup of extra virgin olive oil
• 1 teaspoon of dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon of dried thyme
• 1/2 teaspoon of dried rosemary
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• Lemon slices, for garnish
• Fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish
Instructions:
1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly oil a baking dish that’s big enough for all the cod pieces to fit in one layer.
2. Pat the cod pieces dry with paper towels and sprinkle salt and pepper on both sides. Then, place them in the prepared baking dish.
3. In a small bowl, mix together the minced garlic, lemon juice, olive oil, dried oregano, dried thyme, and dried rosemary.
4. Pour this lemon and garlic mixture over the cod pieces, ensuring they’re all coated evenly.
5. Place lemon slices on top of the cod for an extra burst of flavor.
6. Bake the cod in the preheated oven for about 15-20 minutes. You’ll know it’s done when the fish turns opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
7. Once the cod is cooked through, take it out of the oven and sprinkle chopped fresh parsley on top.
8. Serve the Greek-Style Baked Cod hot, accompanied by your favorite side dishes like roasted veggies, rice, or crusty bread.
